WR Hambrecht + Co to Act as Sole and Exclusive Underwriter

NY Residential REIT, LLC has relaunched its initial public offering with WR Hambrecht + Co acting as the sole and exclusive underwriter for the Regulation A+ IPO. NY Residential REIT is offering up to 5 million shares at $10.00 USD per share with a minimum investment of 100 shares, or $1,000.

“Since the passage of the JOBS Act, real estate issuers have been among the most prolific Reg A+ capital raisers demonstrating broad investor demand for this sector. WR Hambrecht + Co is delighted to provide investors with access to NY Residential REIT’s unique, ‘pure play’ investment model and its institutional-quality management team. With this offering, investors of all classes will be able to gain exposure to the Manhattan residential market under a flexible investment strategy designed to deliver both current yield and capital appreciation,” said John Hullar, Managing Partner, WR Hambrecht + Co.

NY Residential REIT was formed to purchase, invest in, and manage a portfolio of residential properties located in Manhattan and will incorporate a flexible investment strategy that focuses on properties with the potential for significant capital appreciation, such as those requiring renovations or repositioning, those located in neighborhoods with high growth potential and those available from sellers who are distressed or face time-sensitive deadlines.

“With the average apartment in Manhattan priced at more than $2 million, only a limited pool of investors have the resources necessary to invest directly in Manhattan residential real estate,” said Jesse Stein, CEO of NY Residential REIT. “We created NY Residential REIT so that individual investors can own interests in high-quality Manhattan residential real estate in the form of a public security.”
